WELCOME
Welcome to the summer 2016 offerings of Queensborough Community College’s
Office of Pre-College, Continuing Education and Workforce Development
Summer is a time for relaxation, preparation for your fall semester, and, in light of the
upcoming Presidential election, a hearty debate. Here’s a preview of our new offerings for
adults, teens, and children.
Unwind, build health and good posture with a fun and dynamic form of Hatha Yoga, called
VINYASA Flow Yoga, which centers on linking breath and movement in a flowing sequence
of postures. Become a participant in our Wednesday Workout series in either a new Cardio
Hip Hop class or Total Body class that integrates both body weight and added resistance exercises.
Explore how the 2016 Presidential election is similar to many past political contests where
the Establishment was being challenged by Outsiders in ELECTION 2016: Is It Really
Different From America’s Past Elections?
Have your tech savvy teens join our MAJORS/MINORS Program Series by choosing among
two STEM related courses and an English Language Arts course. In the Major one course,
Scientif ic Researchers, students will learn how to design and execute scientifically relevant
research projects in the fields of microbiology, ecology, physics, and chemistry. Major two,
The Coding Academy, is a Python™ Coding Intensive for beginner and intermediate coders.
In the MINOR series course, English Language Arts, teens will tap their innate knowledge
and literary sources to write original pieces in several forms writing such as poetry, personal
memoirs, short fictions, and one act plays. Have your teens prepare for and improve their
scores on the new SAT exam by attending this program, The Redesigned SAT.
Children and teens can join our summer long Oasis Day Camp or the new Gold Coast Sports
Academy with programs in basketball and tennis. Sue Bird, two time NCAA woman’s champion,
and Paul Annacone, famed award winning coach to Pete Sampras and Roger Federer will
lead the two academies. If performing arts is your children’s preference, The Theatre Arts
Center will offer new programs in acting, musical theatre, and vocal performance.
And if you are an incoming QCC student but is math challenged, look into our new Summer
Start program in mathematics. This intensive, low cost, and advisor-supported program will
build the skills needed to bypass remediation classes.
We look forward to seeing you on campus this summer.

HISTORY SERIES
Gerald Matacotta, MA
ELECTION 2016: Is It Really Different from America’s Past Elections?
Throughout America’s history, many of our national elections have been between The
Establishment versus Outsiders. In 1940, a businessman who never held political office ran
against a two-term president. In 1972, an outsider, George McGovern, a darling of the left and
the young, was crushed by Richard Nixon. George Wallace, Eugene V. Debs, William Jennings
Bryan, Huey P. Long, Teddy Roosevelt, James B. Weaver, and Andrew Jackson are “outsiders”
who ran for president. We will connect the 2016 election season to elections of the past.
Suggested Readings: 1940: FDR, Willkie, Lindbergh, Hitler - the Election amid the Storm by
Susan Dunn; A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan by Michael Kazin, and; Kingfish:
The Reign of Huey P. Long by Richard White.

investigations outside the classroom. A future with STEM is one of their best career options, and
their key to wise decisions.
